We recognise the discrimination faced by transgender people. We are committed to giving equal access to our services and equal treatment to people who use our services and to our employees who are transgender.
We will support the rights of employees to live in their chosen transitioned gender and respect their recognised identity.
Gender Recognition Act 2004
This Act allows transgender people who have taken decisive steps to live fully and permanently in their acquired gender to gain legal recognition in that gender. It gives them the right, from the date of recognition, to marry in their acquired gender and be given birth certificates that recognise the acquired gender. They will be able to get benefits just like anyone else of that gender.
